    Velbon PH263 ball head
    It is pretty good ball head and it is light. It max loads
    up to 6 lbs so it is good for a 35 SLR and medium weight
    lens like 70-180mm f4.5, 80-200mm probably ok. 300mm f2.8
    probably not good.

    Velbon PH-263 Magnesium Alloy Tripod Head
    This is an absolutely beautiful piece of gear. A great head and a great value. It is small and ultra light. The nice part is that it adds 3.8 inches of height but has only a fraction of the weight of other heads, including the expensive but heavy Gitzo. This is the hands down winner for the money! If you need a light and solid head, this is it!!! Holds 12 lbs max, again more than other famous brands.

          OK tripod - for heavy video equipment only
          This is a top notch, heavy duty tripod for video needs, NOT photographic. If you own a camera such as D1, F5, D30, etc this tripod will overwhelm you and add serious bulk. For cameras, checkout the Velbon SX-681K (...).

          But for video needs, this adds the extra support you need - especially for larger video cameras. Load capacity is 30 lbs., and max height is 70". Biggest complaint is LACK of pan head: there is none, so you'd have to buy it on your own.

          Superb tripod for low shots
          I really like this tripod for two reasons.

          1) Velbon quality. Velbon makes great tripods. Yes, you could spend thousands for a pro tripod, but you dont have to!

          2) Height. I have a large tripod (Velbon model ordered from Amazon) that I use for portrait shots, etc. However, for macro owrk and other shots that require close quarter and/or low to ground access, this is excellent.

          It also works with both cameras and camcorders, which is very handy. The 3-way pan head is critical in a tripod, and of course it has a quick release like all Velbon tripods.

          This tripod has a glaring flaw
          This tripod has one glaring flaw...the center metal post screw mounts into an aluminum head screw hole. I used this tripod about five times before the head was completely stripped, and I never applied much pressure to the head mount. Very poor design of an otherwise nice tripod!

          Velbon tripods are the BEST on the market.
          This is a high-end Velbon tripod, but if you have a few extra dollars and take photography seriously, it might pay to get this one.

          The height is great and overall body construction is EXTREMELY solid. Not rickety at all. The pan head pans smoothly and the legs lock easily and firmly. Invest wisely in this Velbon. :)
